THE FLAG CSylvia Dolhinow, A91 Waving so proudly in the breeze Disclosing 'its beafnty to view, Outlined cbgafinst the green of the trees, Floats our flag, the red, white, and blue. The blood red, snow white, and true blue Seem to say as they float on high, If you have courage, are pure and tome, Yon'll never lose if you try and try. In the mir it seems so useless and small, But great is its power and might, 'Tis a symbol of honor, love, and all That is good and true and right. -ozoiui The Soul of a School Girl fE'nn'iee M21 ller, B91 Walking along the path of Life, Innocent. sweet, and pure: Helping others in their daily strife A school girl goes, demure. Doing her bit, as others do Burdened, yet without a sigh She follows along her weary path, Nearing her goal, as time goes by. Near her hovers an angel fair Guarding her from evil away Keeping her wholesome, pure, and sweet, Making her always happy and gay. Trouble, naughty little sprite, Hover not near this pure heart, Making hours sad and dl-ear Making happiness depart. Yet at times the school gil-l's heart Finds its own little trials: Sinks into sadness and despair Thinking of the afterwhilcs. But when some kindly spirit comes To bring glad tidings to her ears, See her brighten up again, See her wipe away her tears? When in need, she izropes her way To some kindly heart, so dear: Willing always to allay Giving comfort, and beaming cheer. In this spirit free from care Onward xzoes the school girl's soul, Happy hearted, yet with care Slowly working out her goal.
